Perfect Isnt True

Nothing is perfect especially not the giver’s society. The Giver’s main idea is It is better to be different than to be the same because nothing is perfect. In The giver the people of the society think the society is perfect but it is not.

A life like the one I live in today is better than a “perfect” life in The Giver or Harrison Bergeron. A community without perfectness is normal, people

People often wonder what it is like to live in the “perfect world”, but do they really know it consists of? The Giver runs along the lines of a utopian society or “perfect world”. With all the rules and laws that help the community run smoothly, but limit the power to do so much more. Compared to our society we have so much more room to “breath.” Society today compared to The Giver society is so different but structured in the same way our society uses it

In the story everyone is colorblind so no one can choose different colors and have no opinion, they also have the same bike and clothes. If you are a girl you have to wear a ribbon in your hair until you are nine and then once your ribbon gets taken out of your hair you get a jacket. For instance, “ ”Our people made the choice, the choice to go to sameness. Before my time, before the previous time, back and back and back. We relinquished color when we relinquished sunshine and did away with differences.” He thought for a moment. “We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others” “ (124). One of the problems with the community having sameness is that the newborn children could never experience sunshine or snow, but they never have to experience pain or starvation. They feel, wear, and look the same, the community will never feel different, but the only difference is their age and little accessories. For example ,“ It’s the way they live. It’s the life that was created for them. It’s the same life that you would have, if you had not been chosen as my successor” (192). Jonas and the community’s whole life has been controlled by elders. They have never been able to make their own choices without the elders. This represents how sameness appears to be the antagonist and how they can never be

Both ‘Pleasantville’ directed by Gary ross and ‘The Giver’ written by Lois Lowry clearly demonstrate that a perfect society is impractical. No matter how hard you try, the issues that break down a society will only resurface and ruin the perfect society. A utopian society would not be possible to sustain because Each person has a different idea of a utopian society, People also must feel sad to feel happy, the people of a utopian society don’t have freedom and finally People in the book are deprived of privacy. These are just some of the reasons why a utopian society is unrealistic.

A society that is perfect, where everything is equal and everyone is happy, where there’s

What would it feel like living in a world which everyone is same and the life is monotone?In “The Giver”,written by Lois Lowry,there’s a community based on perfection and the citizens who have strict and ethic rules to prevent their community from becoming unethical and unequal.Lowry conveyed her ideas both with in advantages and disadvantages,and the diversity which citizens in the community have lost.

A true utopia requires sacrifices many people cannot condone. This fact has been shown throughout The Giver. The community decides to sacrifice many things to come to Sameness. Pain, individuality and love are among many things that they have sacrificed (Lowry 124). These sacrifices made the community Jonas lived in seemingly perfect; there is no hunger, no war, no pain, no one will ever be alone. But, a perfect community is completely unrealistic. That is why they have The Giver, the person that knows all the imperfections of the society and help the society to achieve perfection.

Our world has love, hate, passion, anger and fear. All our emotions change the way we act and how other people act, negatively or positively. In the book, The Giver, written by Lois Lowery, a perfect world is created where there are no emotions nor color. Could you give up emotions for a perfect society? The Giver makes readers ask the question what the perfect society is, providing symbolism, like a sled, color and an important character, Gabriel.

Others would argue that a perfect world is a false paradise, one that robs people of their individuality. People are supposed to be different. These topics are discussed in The Giver and Uglies. Both authors demonstrate that the power of technology would one day harm society. The two novels are both based in an utopian society which would eventually becomes a major problem that ruins their perfect little worlds.

Therefore, these "perfect" people of a "perfect" society, live, lifeless, in their cellophaned world. They do not grow ugly and fat with age, they never experience hunger or discomfort or fear, yet the only happiness they feel is a simulation, an illusion.

In their perfect society they we the same in every way they were the same with no memories or feelings, they were trapped, “We gained control of many things. But we had to let others go (lowry 95).” I mean everyone else is doing it right? The book The Giver Jonas challenges samenes, lack of memories and lack of empathy because he wants people to experience life without being trapped.

What if a whole community had the absence of color, expect for one twelve-year-old child? According to the novel The Giver written by Lois Lowry, Jonas, the twelve-year-old child, lives in a seemingly ideal, but colorless, community of conformity and contentment. Not until he is assigned, and given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory, as he starts to understand the dark, and complicated secrets behind his community. He begins to recognize various ways in which his community needs color to be more free and happy. Within, the novel Lois Lowry, mentioned a lot of themes that were contributed to Jonas’ ability to see color, and the absence of color in his community. One of the themes that was expressed within the novel was, the

In this world, people are required to use “precise” language, which can have many evil effects on them. People do not have access to true information, which make it impossible for them to take control of their own lives. Marriage and children system is controlled by the government, which causes lack of feeling of love in people. Compared to the world of The Giver, the real world is a much better place. People know that they have rights, exercise their rights, and even rise to protect their rights when they are violated. It is not impossible for this world to turn into a world similar to the world of The Giver, where people lose their rights and humanness, so we should treasure the condition in which we live

In conclusion, this is very Utopian idea, but if it is in our means to make a society that is as close to perfect as we can, that makes everyone equal and truly free, why in the world would be not strive for
